SubjectTasklets vs. Task Queues for Deferred Processing
I'm trying to defer some processing to a later point.  I'm in a softirq,
so in_interrupt() returns true. I need to schedule some work for later,
in process context. I have read in the O'Reilly linux device drivers
book that tasklets always run in interrupt time. Also, I guess the only
task_queue that is in process context is the scheduler task queue. I've
seen in a few places that task queues are on their way out and tasklets
are being used instead. Is this completely true? Should I consider
task queues as a deprecated method of deferred processing?` What other
deferred processing methods can I use that will run in process context?

Thanks,
Josh
